It was the Basques who lost a man first, Jelbat red carded for bringing down Cedric when the latter was through on goal. And it was the same Barça man who capitalised on the numerical advantage to score on the half hour, converting a lovely pass from Darvich. Everything was in Barça's favour and just two minutes later the German sped down the wing and served up a back post pass for Guille Fernández to extend the lead. It all started to go wrong when Mbacke was also sent off, in his case for a second bookable offence. Events were repeated in the other team's favour, for the man on the end of the foul leading to a sending off then became a goalscorer, Sannadi bringing the visitors back to within one just before the hour mark. Things were suddenly not looking so sweet for Barça, and it took some fine saves from Astralaga to keep them ahead. But the Barça goalie could do nothing to prevent Imanol Torre from sending home an equaliser in the 88th minute. Barça Atlètic next go to Gimnástica Segoviana on Saturday at 3.30pm CET.

Argitan's complaint comes after the municipal shelter created by the City Council was closed shortly at the end of March to deal with the state of alarm in the sports club of Lassasarre, where there are 36 men and 5 women, after at least two women have left "for fear of suffering male violence". On June 10 the Lassasarre will be closed and the old hostel will open, "there is not even room to accommodate 28 people, as COVID-19 forces to maintain safety distances". They have recalled that they have called for "time and time again" for the reopening of the exclusive apartments for women, "which was closed in March, supposedly temporarily, on the occasion of the COVID-19 quarantine". They add that the City Council has done nothing. He has asked the City Hall of Barakaldo to "offer a dignified solution to all homeless people in Barakaldo, without discrimination of any kind and without derivation of responsibility to other public institutions". The Argitan Association has provided women in Barakaldo free of charge with information on their rights, legal advice, social counselling and psychological support for 23 years.

Although the first studies of citizen co-production in public services were published in the 1970s by Elinor Ostrom and her team, the topic did not raise much interest in those days as the approach was not relevant to the time (Brandsen et al., 2018 The growing importance of cities to ground and work toward finding local responses to global pressing challenges by engaging with stakeholders and citizens is often fostered due to the benefits it provides in terms of improved governance; quality of services co-creation can play a prominent role at the urban level in generating effective and innovative solutions to tackle the challenges of a world dominated by complexity and uncertainty this kind of processes also contribute to enhance the individual capabilities of in this case young individuals that are being part of these processes Based on the UPLIFT co-creation process in Barakaldo this work aims to explore the connections between institutionalized participatory policy making processes a theoretical framework that allows to define how people can enhance their individual capabilities the discussion of the paper defines three main elements that in the case of the co-creation process in Barakaldo have been key in order to guarantee not only the development of innovative and effective solutions but also to foster the generation of knowledge and skills development among the participants The discussion in Section 6.1 will be complemented by: the explanation of the capability approach and concepts on youth participation in policy making processes as frameworks of analysis; the methodology used to analyze the results and the presentation of the case study and Section 6.1 The research conducted departs from the notions frameworks and methodologies developed within two different theoretical influences: (1) the Capability Approach (CA) and (2) Co-creation and youth participation in policymaking The following sections introduce these influences and their relevance for the research conducted explain how they are integrated and paves the way toward understanding the questions posed by the research team The following two claims are at the basis of the framework: freedom to achieve wellbeing is of moral importance and must be understood in terms of a person's so-called capabilities According to this framework, functionings reflect what people are (being) or do (doing), and can be either good or bad (Kimhur, 2020) Some examples of these include being well-nourished Moreover, it links these functioning to what it defines as capabilities. According to Sen (1999, p. 40) capabilities represents the various combinations of functionings (beings and doings) that the person can achieve. Having capabilities means that a person has the freedom, real rights and opportunities to realize valuable functioning as an active agent (Kimhur, 2020) The functioning people actually achieve because of their capabilities depends on individual preferences preferences constitute the link between capabilities and functionings Formal freedoms refer to the material aids that a given person can access (income goods or services) and the formal legal rights people enjoy (e.g. rights recognized by the Constitution) to live the life of their choice Resources are the formal opportunities a person has to be or do what is important to them Capabilities are affected by a person's formal freedoms or the resources available for Conversion factors are the bridge between formal freedoms and the capabilities or the available opportunities to achieve the valued positions. Conversion factors were classified by Robeyns (2005) as personal (including sex All of this influences people's ability to transform formal resources into valuable opportunities (capabilities) and functionings Examples of these are individual features like sex for instance social norms and practices like gender inequality that might prevent women from transforming formal opportunities into desired positions it asks whether people have access to high -quality education (capabilities) and whether the means and resources necessary for this capability are available (formal resources) The core concepts of the CA are relevant to understanding the route from formal freedoms to real freedoms which lead to creating individual life-strategies or functionings in the different life domains (labor market the most widespread approach in CA empirical analysis appears to be assessing functionings or functioning together with capabilities on different application themes less attention has been given to conversion factors in the field of policymaking and developmental processes even though personal and group-specific characteristics are crucial for bridging means and freedoms Conversion factors can boost or inhibit people when transforming formal opportunities into valuable opportunities or the desired outcomes Individuals and their social context influence the ability they have to pave that path to reflect upon capabilities in policy making processes through capability approach puts the focus on how young people can enhance their individual conversions factors reflecting not only on the pathways that policies follow toward transformation but on youngsters' strategies to transform their lives Following this premise, Egdell and McQuaid (2016) highlighted the role played by stakeholders and young people in developing job activation initiatives and acknowledged that such participation has affected their own learning and personal development Learning and personal development happen both at the individual level (increased skills and knowledge) and in a broader socio-economic context (legal framework The former could include appropriate information on the labor market and the skills needed to take opportunities such as social and structural factors (e.g. The authors presented three case studies showing how young people involved in developmental processes linked to job activation programs enhance their capabilities in terms of empowerment (that is individual conversion factors (increased skills and knowledge regarding the topic and certain aspects as self-belief and confidence) and external conversion factors (ability to influence external factors) The following section explores how young people can get involved in policy-making processes with public institutions through co-creation It has recently gained prominence as an approach to tackle the increasing complexity of the current societal challenges spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic all of which need a swift and targeted policy response In the field of public policies, citizens are the main stakeholders with whom to engage in co-creation processes during the various stages of the policy cycle dealing with social issues (Voorberg et al., 2015) Citizens become co-creators because their specific resources and competences are valuable for delivering public service The co-creative processes are also learning ones where the participants learn not only how to face societal challenges but also from the other participants' competences learning in co-creation is an unexplored topic in the literature and alike) that directly impact them; and social participation that leads to developmental benefits for the young people involved in such processes with no ideal type of participation but rather different types based on initiation and decision-making roles each time youth participation in policymaking can be understood as young people collaborating with other stakeholders during the various stages of the policy cycle and with different types of participation to co-create solutions that deal with societal challenges that directly affect their lives Benefits of youth participation in policymaking at the individual and broader levels At a societal level, youth participation can provide indirect benefits to society, mainly to the community and the organizations participating from the developmental processes. Such aspects include broadening civic participation, experience for active citizen and leadership for the future (Hoekstra and Gentili, 2021); increased knowledge of youth and community concerns and more feasible and targeted solutions or recommendations (Frank, 2006) YPAR processes are also empowering and affect young people at the individual level (Ozer and Douglas, 2013) By involving them in participatory activities such as analyzing a community's challenges and decision-making to influence policies and decisions young people experience personal positive effects such as motivation to influence their communities and policymaking as key issues to be discussed with young people and other stakeholders when reflecting together on how they perceive youth participation processes there are clear linkages between both benefits this study focuses on the elements of the co-creation process that have allowed the development of the individual benefits of the participants in connection with broader structural factors policy co-creation framed within the CA allows understanding of how the process is influencing the young individual's abilities (individual conversion factors) in relation with the resources their opportunities (capabilities) and their choices (functionings) in the life domain addressed by the process participatory action research (PAR) is as a research methodology that aims not only to create knowledge collaboratively with those affected by the research but also to become an empowering process for the participants Due to its emphasis on understanding human experiences and taking action in order to improve difficult situations this approach is a valuable methodology for the case study on a policy co-creation process that aims not only to improve policy but to become a personal development process Three main features of this approach are particularly valuable for the case study First, researchers work collaboratively with other participants affected by the research (Olshansky et al., 2005) by examining and interpreting their own social world and exploring the relationship between the individual and other social interactions (Kemmis and Wilkinson, 1998 Researchers do not approach the process to study it from a distance Second, PAR is practical and reflexive as it seeks to improve and change the participant's situation by developing, implementing, and reflecting on actions and their own situation as part of the research and knowledge generation process (Kemmis and Wilkinson, 1998, p. 24; Olshansky et al., 2005; Loewenson et al., 2014) Third, PAR processes are empowering processes in which people are involved in reflective processes to explore the individual and social limitations that limit their self-development and self-determination (Kemmis and Wilkinson, 1998 The co-creation process was structured following the PAR approach Researchers could work collaboratively with other participants affected by the research in discussion sessions where strategies and actions were designed to address the challenge policy implementers and youngsters did not play only the role of “subjects” of study but also an active role in aspects like designing the process It was also designed to empower young people and involve them in the process of policy co-creation thus supporting them in their self-development processes and giving them resources to have their voice heard in local policy making and enhance their abilities Moreover, regarding the analysis of the results extracted from the aforementioned participatory process, a quantitative method with a survey of the young participants in the co-creation process of UPLIFT in Barakaldo is used (see the survey in Annex 1). Thus, the questions included in the survey respond to the categories included as determinant to advance the knowledge and skills of the respondents (see Table 2) The fieldwork took place between December 2021 and July 2022 with a pre and post-survey to examine whether the young individuals were increasing their knowledge and behaviors because of collaborating in UPLIFT The co-creation process included thirteen young people with the number varying in the different sessions Nine people responded to the pre- and post-survey at the beginning and end of the process Five of them had recurring responses as they filled in the survey at the beginning and end of the process allowing a direct observation of the changes in the items assessed UPLIFT is a project funded by Horizon 2020 exploring how young people's voices can be placed at the center of youth policy in areas of housing the project has been studying the cases of 16 cities in Europe and the UK to gain a deeper understanding of the inequalities affecting young people and participatory workshops are being carried out with policymakers and implementers By incorporating these perspectives into the policy design process UPLIFT aims to find innovative interventions in a bottom-up approach together with communities in four locations (Amsterdam policy co-creation processes involving a group of young people from each city have been put forward to address and reduce inequality in different life domains Barakaldo is a 100,000-inhabitant river-port town that is part of a larger suburban area of Bilbao, a medium-sized city within the province of Bizkaia, one of the three provinces of the region of the Basque Country (2.2 million inhabitants) in Spain. Lorenz and Icaran (2022) conduct a research based on qualitative methods to explore the structural characteristics of the economy and social issues and its impact on young people between 18 and 30 years of age in Barakaldo They are the cohort of the population that experience the strongest effects of the economic downturns in the city in terms of higher unemployment rates struggles in accessing housing and other related social inequalities especially after the financial crisis of 2008 the research found that the desired position of the young people in Barakaldo would be to have their own house either from the private or public housing market as renting prices are higher than the mortgage monthly payments The strategy for evolving from the current position to the desired one relies in achieving a good economic position (i.e. stable and well paid) that enables them to save enough money or to get funding to buy and maintain a house and a mortgage many of them still live in the family house in a rented house or have not thought to live by their own yet due to the high unemployment rates of young people and a public social housing stock although much more affordable than the private sector is insufficient to meet their housing demand The co-creation process in Barakaldo sought to give young people a real voice in local policy making by setting up a co-creative process to produce a reflexive policy agenda (RPA) for improving local housing policies and by developing a dialogue between young people and local authorities in Barakaldo The process itself is not only a way to achieve a better reflexive policy agenda that can be put into action more easily but it is also a way to understand how participatory processes involving youth can give them the chance to transform the formal resources at their disposal into real opportunities through the improvement of their abilities The co-creation process in Barakaldo departs from the two different theoretical influences and frameworks described above: the capability approach and co-creation and youth participation in policymaking participation took place in the interplay of three spaces: The Youth Board (YB) which focused on the dialogue with young people which concentrated on the dialogue with decision makers and Batera focusing on the collaboration between the two groups The process followed a co-generative model based on the cyclical iteration of the YB the SL and Batera and was built following a traditional policymaking process from problem definition to the analysis of options and development of policy solutions The co-creation process for a Reflexive Policy Agenda (RPA) in Barakaldo and opinions of the young people concerning their experiences and life difficulties The CA provided an analytical tool to grasp better the urban housing inequality the young participants were experiencing and a framework to understand how the process influenced young people's individual abilities The framework helped to gain insight into the relationship between the formal freedom of choices that young people had in Barakaldo the real choice young people actually had to make use of these formal spaces (capabilities) and the final outcomes they were experiencing in housing (functionings) The young participants showed they were vulnerable in the housing domain as their desired situation in housing did not match their current situation although the overall desired functioning was to have their own accommodation the achieved outcome was that they were either living in shared accommodation or were not yet emancipated the young people became involved in the first phases of the policy-making process (defining the problem—diagnosis and focus and formulating the policy—solution design) in the field of urban housing The subsequent phases were policy implementation and policy evaluation All the items shown in the Table 2 can help ascertain whether participation in co-creation processes such as the one presented in the case study can benefit young people so that they are able to use the formal resources available in their city to achieve a better position in different life domains the co-creation process aims to enhance young people's capabilities and real freedoms (life opportunities) by improving their individual conversion factors in terms of greater knowledge and skills The survey was designed including questions on the items for assessing the skills and knowledge; and the behaviors and attitudes shown in Table 2 The analysis of the data collected through the survey are summarized in this section As it can be seen in Table 3 young individuals believe that participating in the UPLIFT co-creation process increases their knowledge and skills on the housing and policymaking topic (average score ranks higher than 3 almost in all the items before and after the participation in the process on a scale from 1—no extent to 4—great extent) their answers change after the participation in the process: the knowledge on some topics increases and others decrease in relation to their initial belief of what the process could bring them in terms of knowledge and skills The knowledge on topics related to the organizations working on housing in the city the organizations to be addressed for advice in housing the policymaking process and how to widen one's social network increase after having participated in the process direct knowledge on how to improve one own's housing situation decreases after having participated in the process: how to find better housing conditions including affordable opportunities or funding programs for improving access to housing How participating in UPLIFT affected the young individuals' knowledge and skills These patterns suggest that those that were participating from the beginning to the end got more intense knowledge on the topics that were addressed throughout the process Concerning attitudes and behaviors, as seen in Table 4 the young people believed they had gained some positive attitudes toward civic participation such as feeling more prepared to give a presentation to someone they do not know to find out how they could participate in policymaking in Barakaldo and influence decision-making within the scope of the UPLIFT project the process showed no change in civic participatory behaviors in fields other than housing like increasing dialogue with other young people on the issues to improve in the city or believing that young people have a say in what happens in the city How participating in UPLIFT affected the young individuals' attitudes and behaviors (participatory behavior and socio-political skills) The attitude toward policy has positively changed with respondents demonstrating they were better equipped to understand and participate effectively in co-creative policymaking They also felt more confident taking on a leading role communicating their point of view to adults knowing how to get involved in co-creative policymaking and have gained insight into the housing policy of Barakaldo Recurring responses showed that the participants in the whole process have gained more positive attitudes toward collaborating in policymaking In general, as it is shown in Table 5 the young people's attitudes and behaviors toward influencing one's community presented a negative pattern meaning that their expectations about influencing Barakaldo's housing policies through the co-creation process were higher in the beginning than after the process While the young people had overall positive attitudes toward decision-making in housing (the topic tackled by UPLIFT) this was not the case regarding other planning or community planning initiatives that do not lead to changes they seemed keen to collaborate in such processes that lead to changes even the ones they did not necessarily like How participating in UPLIFT affected the young individuals' attitudes and behaviors (motivation to influence one's community/for planning and community involvement) Co-creative processes as empowering and learning processes can be constructed The following discussion is built around the following question: what elements should the co-creative policymaking processes consider for influencing positively the young individuals The author here proposes three elements of the process that can be considered key in order to enable that young people increase their knowledge about the policy problem tackled as well as their attitudes and behaviors toward policymaking one of the main reasons for youngsters to engage in policymaking Second, for the co-creation process to become learning processes for the young participants, it is needed to embed theoretical and practical contents on the issue tackled as: policymaking and the wider socioeconomic context (Egdell and McQuaid, 2016). These learnings, if directed toward enhancing their individual conversion factors, are crucial for bridging between means, freedoms and personal outcomes (Kimhur, 2020) In the case study such concepts were translated into contents that raised the participant's understanding and knowledge of the structural factors that according to the CA influence their capabilities in housing The contents included presentations about the policy cycle (problem definition urban policy instruments and policy or stakeholder mapping Young people in policymaking not only learn from the theoretical and practical knowledge that is embedded in the process, but also from the interaction with other participants. In the light of the case study, it is observed that as suggested by Voorberg et al. (2015) young participants enhance their knowledge on the main topic addressed by the process due to the competences that other participants have on policymaking and housing By sharing and exchanging the resources and competences of each participant on housing and personal experiences all the participants have gained valuable insights on the topic and policymaking this leads to a knowledge increase to understand the existing resources and possibilities in housing the size and length of the Barakaldo case study on co-creative policymaking presents limitations on the number of vulnerable young people engaged in the process as well as in the scope of the data analysis it provides it shows limitations of direct generalization but it offers a more detailed analysis based on the case study which can stimulate reflections on how local urban institutions can influence the personal drivers for fighting against urban inequalities even though the role of the facilitators is a key aspect to drive these processes as empowering and learning processes it is not the ambition of this paper to deepen in the role that they can play to build and drive these processes but rather to define the elements that in the light of the results of the empirical study presented in this paper can be built across the process to consciously work toward an empowering and learning process for the young participants the author acknowledges the role played by the facilitators in many aspects that influence the process one of them being the element of reflexivity Systematic reflection in every step of the process allowed to continuously reflect on whether young people were heading toward more knowledge and/or positive attitudes toward the topic; and to adjust the process to include new means and methods to seek its objective The raw data supporting the conclusions of this article will be made available by the authors The studies involving human participants were reviewed and approved by Comité de Ética en Investigación de la Universidad de Deusto The patients/participants provided their written informed consent to participate in this study The author confirms being the sole contributor of this work and has approved it for publication The research leading to this paper has received funding from the UPLIFT Project (H2020-UPLIFT Grant Agreement No The author is grateful to all the UPLIFT partners and the local partners from Barakaldo including Eretza the City Council and the young people from Barakaldo involved in the empirical study the author acknowledges the contribution of Claudia Icaran to the design of the research the interpretation of results and the critical revision of the work Their work and results are summarized in this paper The author declares that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest All claims expressed in this article are solely those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of their affiliated organizations Any product that may be evaluated in this article or claim that may be made by its manufacturer is not guaranteed or endorsed by the publisher The Supplementary Material for this article can be found online at: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frsc.2023.1098313/full#supplementary-material CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Google Scholar Google Scholar CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Google Scholar CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Google Scholar Google Scholar Google Scholar CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Google Scholar Participatory action research and the study of practice in Action Research in Practice: Partnerships for Social Justice in Education PubMed Abstract | Google Scholar CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Participatory Action Research in Health Systems: A Methods Reader PubMed Abstract | Google Scholar CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Google Scholar Google Scholar Participatory action research to understand and reduce health disparities The impact of participatory research on urban teens: an experimental evaluation CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Google Scholar Google Scholar CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Google Scholar Google Scholar Google Scholar Google Scholar CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar A typology of youth participation and empowerment for child and adolescent health promotion Citation: Lorenz U (2023) Enhancing young people's individual skills and knowledge The case of vulnerable youth participating in co-creative policymaking in housing in the city of Barakaldo Received: 14 November 2022; Accepted: 10 February 2023; Published: 08 March 2023 Copyright © 2023 Lorenz.

Two years ago, a Belgian company presented the project for the construction of a wind farm on Mount Argalario in Barakaldo (Bizkaia), made up of five windmills. Well, the Natural Heritage Service of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia has opposed it. According to the report published on Tuesday, the project would have "critical" effects on the environment and is "incompatible" with the preservation of biodiversity. However, the resolutions of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia and the City Council of Barakalda are not binding in this matter, since the final decision is made by the Basque Government. 05 Apr 2025 17:30:00 GMT?.css-1txiau5-AnswerContainer{color:var(--GlobalColorScheme-Text-secondaryText2);}Barakaldo vs Athletic Club B on Sat This is 31 of the Primera Federacion - Group 1 The current head to head record for the teams are Barakaldo 5 win(s) Have scored 6 goals in their last 5 matches Haven't kept a clean sheet in 8 matches Have scored 7 goals in their last 5 matches Haven't kept a clean sheet in 6 matches Who won between Barakaldo and Athletic Club B on Sat 05 Apr 2025 17:30:00 GMT?Barakaldo vs Athletic Club B on Sat 05 Apr 2025 17:30:00 GMT ended in a 0–0 tie.InsightsHave scored 6 goals in their last 5 matches Barakaldo is playing home against Athletic Club B on Sat 30 Mar 2025 17:30:00 GMT?.css-1txiau5-AnswerContainer{color:var(--GlobalColorScheme-Text-secondaryText2);}Real Sociedad B vs Barakaldo on Sun This is 30 of the Primera Federacion - Group 1 The current head to head record for the teams are Real Sociedad B 8 win(s) Haven't scored in their last 3 matches Real Sociedad B have won the previous 3 matches against Barakaldo Haven't scored in their last 2 matches Haven't kept a clean sheet in 7 matches Who won between Real Sociedad B and Barakaldo on Sun 30 Mar 2025 17:30:00 GMT?Real Sociedad B vs Barakaldo on Sun 30 Mar 2025 17:30:00 GMT ended in a 2–2 tie.InsightsHave scored 2 goals in their last 5 matches Real Sociedad B is playing home against Barakaldo on Sun 19 Jan 2025 16:00:00 GMT?.css-1txiau5-AnswerContainer{color:var(--GlobalColorScheme-Text-secondaryText2);}Barakaldo vs Ourense on Sun This is 20 of the Primera Federacion - Group 1 The current head to head record for the teams are Barakaldo 1 win(s) Who won between Barakaldo and Ourense on Sun 19 Jan 2025 16:00:00 GMT?Barakaldo vs Ourense on Sun 19 Jan 2025 16:00:00 GMT ended in a 1–1 tie.InsightsHave scored 10 goals in their last 5 matches Barakaldo is playing home against Ourense on Sun 19 Feb 2025 16:00:00 GMT?.css-1txiau5-AnswerContainer{color:var(--GlobalColorScheme-Text-secondaryText2);}CD Arenteiro vs Barakaldo on Wed This is 21 of the Primera Federacion - Group 1 The current head to head record for the teams are CD Arenteiro 0 win(s) Who won between CD Arenteiro and Barakaldo on Wed 19 Feb 2025 16:00:00 GMT?CD Arenteiro vs Barakaldo on Wed 19 Feb 2025 16:00:00 GMT ended in a 1–1 tie.InsightsHave scored 7 goals in their last 5 matches CD Arenteiro is playing home against Barakaldo on Wed 23 Mar 2025 16:00:00 GMT?.css-1txiau5-AnswerContainer{color:var(--GlobalColorScheme-Text-secondaryText2);}Celta Fortuna won 1–0 over Barakaldo on Sun This is 29 of the Primera Federacion - Group 1 Have scored 3 goals in their last 5 matches Who won between Barakaldo and Celta Fortuna on Sun 23 Mar 2025 16:00:00 GMT?Celta Fortuna won 1–0 over Barakaldo on Sun 23 Mar 2025 16:00:00 GMT.InsightsHave scored 8 goals in their last 5 matches Barakaldo is playing home against Celta Fortuna on Sun 23 Feb 2025 17:30:00 GMT?.css-1txiau5-AnswerContainer{color:var(--GlobalColorScheme-Text-secondaryText2);}Barakaldo won 3–1 over Unionistas de Salamanca on Sun This is 25 of the Primera Federacion - Group 1 Have scored 10 goals in their last 5 matches Who won between Barakaldo and Unionistas de Salamanca on Sun 23 Feb 2025 17:30:00 GMT?Barakaldo won 3–1 over Unionistas de Salamanca on Sun 23 Feb 2025 17:30:00 GMT.InsightsHave scored 5 goals in their last 5 matches Barakaldo is playing home against Unionistas de Salamanca on Sun 27 Apr 2025 10:00:00 GMT?.css-1txiau5-AnswerContainer{color:var(--GlobalColorScheme-Text-secondaryText2);}Gimnastica Segoviana vs Barakaldo on Sun This is 34 of the Primera Federacion - Group 1 The current head to head record for the teams are Gimnastica Segoviana 0 win(s) Have scored 5 goals in their last 5 matches Who won between Gimnastica Segoviana and Barakaldo on Sun 27 Apr 2025 10:00:00 GMT?Gimnastica Segoviana vs Barakaldo on Sun 27 Apr 2025 10:00:00 GMT ended in a 1–1 tie.InsightsHave scored 4 goals in their last 5 matches Gimnastica Segoviana is playing home against Barakaldo on Sun Profitez pleinement de l'expérience BeSoccer Para sacar el máximo partido de nuestro contenido, incluidas las cuotas, por favor, confirma tu edad.

concepts that are not merely places of function but destinations in themselves — sanctuaries of style Mariano helps Castilla earn 3 points and close the gap at the top of the Segunda B II Table This time Madrid would have to go on the road looking to take points from league-leaders Barakaldo whom Castilla trailed by six points It wouldn't help that Los Blancos would be without the services of one of the team's leading scorers in Borja Mayoral who was with the senior squad as they beat Eibar While the weather was a factor (semi-melted snow surrounding the pitch) it wasn't a major player like last weekend's rain-soaked pitch that caused all sorts of problems Without one of their top strikers coach Ramis went with this starting XI: Castilla XI: Abad, Tejero, Reguilón, Fran, Salto, Llorente, Febas, Ødegaard, Muñoz(C), Cedrés & Mariano! #RealMadridCastilla One thing that was evident was that Barakaldo were bigger and older than Castilla They would try and use this to their advantage by throwing their size around most of the match While tempers would flair at times throughout Castilla wasn't about to be bullied off the pitch and Javi Muñoz were the kings of the midfield linking up with touch-pass after touch-pass only to be thwarted by the Barakaldo goaltender The re-start would go the same as the first half - a hotly contested affair that was filled with end-to-end battles Lazo would come on in the 74th minute replacing Ødegaard it was a lot like watching a big game of keep away trying to find a weakness in the Barakaldo defense It would be in the 82nd minute when Mariano found that weakness and made them pay for it with the first goal of the game They'd get another chance in the 84th minute as they were awarded a penalty for Mariano being brought down in the box Unfortunately Castilla could not capitalize as the shot was saved Video: @marianodiaz9 goal vs Barakaldo - 85 min pic.twitter.com/xm32WhqpNx with Castilla picking up the three points and moving

Now just 3 points off of 1st place. This side deserves to be champions #RealMadridCastilla pic.twitter.com/3GxfrURMkB Real Madrid Castilla will now face bottom table teams including a couple in the relegation zone I don't see them NOT dropping points as the season gets closer to an end so now let's root them on as they chase the top of the table How nice would it would be to not only get promoted Also seeing playing time would be Enzo and Alvaro Match Day 34: Sunday April 17thTime: 21:00Opponents: @ SD Gernika And here are the guy's doing their best First Team impression Enorme todo el equipo !!!✌ ️⚽️ pic.twitter.com/GkvnX6iDcp Martin Ødegaard on Instagram! #RealMadridCastilla pic.twitter.com/sdmkjCUS9x Castilla keep their play off hopes alive with a vital win against rivals Barakaldo Castilla had one objective on their minds: Win and their play off hopes would be dead and buried who were one place above the whites in the table Castilla stole the group title off of Barakaldo in the dying seconds of the final day in what brought an end to an epic showdown between the two sides Barakaldo were surely looking for revenge today Achraf and the in form Vergos away on international duty they must have been pretty confident of a result but fullback Luismi Quezada started in left midfield Valverde returned to the bench from illness and was joined by under 19's defender Gorka Zabarte All 3 wingers available started on the bench; With Sergio Díaz continuing to waste his time out on the right wing Castilla XI: Abad, Tejero, Salto, Hermoso, Quezada, Seoane, Febas, Muñoz, Abner, Campuzano & Díaz #RealMadridCastilla pic.twitter.com/4jbZadh15L it was clear this was going to be a game of high quality football with both teams opting to pass the ball around on the floor and attempt to play through each other They created a few half chances but nothing critical — but for a long spell Barakaldo couldn't get a hold of the ball at all Castilla couldn't capitalize on their good play and Barakaldo grew back into the game by the minute the Bilbao based side created some very dangerous chances and it took a world class Luismi Quezada block on the line to prevent them from taking the lead Luismi proved to be the key figure in all of the action as not long after Tejero broke forward and found the Dominican who took a touch and unleashed a powerful strike into the Barakaldo goal Madrid almost scored again right away after but Campuzano could not find the room to shoot between all the defenders Few more chances were created before half time and Castilla went into the break a goal to the good Luismi freakin' Quezada. The hype train tickets have just doubled in price. pic.twitter.com/pnRwWRAipY and came out looking to force an equaliser Campuzano touched down the ball in a ‘Benzema vs Ajax esque’ manor for Tejero to control the ball and finish via a deflection Campuzano could have ended up with a hat-trick and Díaz saw a few of his efforts blocked One in particular was blocked after he beat multiple men in the Barakaldo half Campuzano had the best chance of the game perhaps when he found himself clean through on goal but could only aim his effort straight at the keeper as not long later Barakaldo were back in it after finishing off a decent move with Castilla's attacking play coming mostly on the counter It was now Madrid who needed to dig deep for the result and the intelligence of the players really shone Díaz on multiple occasions would make space before holding up the ball in the opposition’s half whilst the defenders were working overtime to stop any Barakaldo attacks as right at the end Barakaldo hit the post with a close ranged effort players and fans alike could breathe again in what could prove to be a vital result come the end of the campaign Man, if Sergio Diaz scores this. pic.twitter.com/okKTW45hKM Castilla are in 4th place and back in the play offs but all the teams around them are yet to play the result keeps their playoff aim very much alive with potentially the toughest tests behind them Man of the match today took a lot of thought I could not distinguish between Quezada's first half I went with Díaz as I felt he had a stronger overall game but I cannot take anything away from Luismi's brilliant game They stood up when we really needed them to and they travel to River Sestao next week to try and keep the dream alive Text description provided by the architects.

The project was selected to take part in the Spanish Architecture Exhibition –On Site- that was organized at MoMA from New York in 2006; recently the exhibited model was acquired by the museum for the permanent collection. The district of Barakaldo is situated on a very steep slope above the Nervion River, where a complex urban planning was developed in the Sixties and was lead by “Blast Furnace from Vizcaya”. The proposal was to provide it with a new geographical identity, by scrapping and removing the last urban planning that Urban-Galindo had created for this area. © David FrutosMarrow of Urban Perme ability We modified the existing planning in order to create the New Square of Barakaldo (25.223m2), The benefits of which were two-fold for the city: on the one hand a new access point to the urban centre, on the other hand a better fluidity and mobility from the city to the river, due to the fact that the industrial factories were shut in the permeability of the city. © David FrutosEquipped Communications Arteries The very steep slope of the plot was scan as an opportunity for the creation of a new urban typology. It was possible to take advantage of the 20-meters difference between the upper and bottom level of the plot, to build an equipped slope, “the Pormetxeta Square”, with the following strategy: © David FrutosFirst of all several accesses and approach are linked: the railway platform Secondly we saved all the space under each “Pormetxeta Ramp” in order to get 2.341m2 of commercial and service public facility The third advantage is working as a micro-public space: micro-squares in other words building a phenomenological sequence lantern… creating a very well-equipped place The Pormetxeta Square is found under the long ramps There are some holes that qualify the space with playgrounds and lend it a unique topography all you can hear are the laughter of children The Pormetxeta Square and its different levels of access make up a unique and independent project Understanding the public space and private space as a cross between the urban and model building Architecture and Urbanism are mixed at all times Consequently we have planned an urban strategy as a business and dialogue platform between citizens Born on 01 February 2001 in Vitoria-Gasteiz This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page PAY ATTENTION: Follow YEN's WhatsApp channel for a daily dose of breaking news on the go! 18-year-old Ghanaian international striker, Jerry Afriyie, has wasted no time in announcing himself in the Spanish football scene In his first starting appearance for CD Lugo in the Primera RFEF Group 1 showcasing his clinical finishing and immense potential despite Afriyie’s stunning debut performance Lugo suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat to Barakaldo who is currently on loan at CD Lugo from Al Qadisiya of Saudi Arabia has been tipped as one of the brightest young talents to come out of Ghana in recent years PAY ATTENTION: Follow us on Instagram - get the most important news directly in your favourite app!
